X-Pipe w/Bullets
X-Pipe w/Bullets I am running a pretty mild 383. I have the Magnaflow catback and y-pipe. What kind of performance gains and weight loss would I recieve by going to a x-pipe w/ bullets???
probably around 5-10 hp and i don't see any weight savings going true duals (especially is you run them all the way out back) because you have almost twice the amount of tubing
While I have no dyno numbers from before and after I can say that when I had a Borla cat back run wide open I could floor it off idle and dead hook at the track. Once I switched to 3" TDs with an X and Edelbrock 304 SDTs I must have picked up some more low end because at the next track outing with the same track prep I was blowing the itre away off idle and had to modulate the throttle a bit to hook...The shop (Performance Auto Fab, a sponsor here>>>>>) told me I'd pick up some botoom end with the X and I believe them...

I had mine routed out of the sides right behind the doors...The pipes are back cut under the car a few inches to not look "red neck" and the sound is great, not too loud...

Verdad Gallardo I would second that you might see maybe a tenth and mph or two, nothing to drastic but there should be a gain.
Redneck..I'm offened. J/K. I like it quiet inside also but it's just a weekend warrior. ABA383 I thought I seen some pictures of your setup on here once before. Was that you or someone else? I tried searching it but for some reason my server wasn't doing its J.O.B. So, does anyone have any dyno proven power???

I put in sound deadening/dampening material a while back for stereo purposes but, it also makes a big difference in combating that drone from the X-pipe and bullets. Back when I first put on that exhaust I was very much stock-ish. I had CAI, LT4 KM, 160 stat, & Hypercrap tune. I added the long tubes & x-pipe setup and it took me from 274hp/304tq to 282hp/318tq.
